Same here - seeing app defaults being reset still. For us it seems to be related to migrated Windows 7 user profiles where data has been restored by USMT10 (but not always).
Also tracking an issue where Windows 10 indexing is broken when a language pack is installed - specifically for us when the en-GB language pack in installed, however other combinations of Enterprise WIM and locale settings have been reported to cause the same problem. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d30a4ce7-0f6b-4a9b-aaab-ce0b9c3a166a/issue-with-windows-10-search-indexing-and-display-languages-resulting-in-these-results-may-be?forum=win10itprogeneral Cheers Damon From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Thelen, Chris Sent: Friday, 24 February 2017 6:49 AM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [mssms] RE: Off Topic: Windows 10 LTSB or CBB Sorry for not replying sooner, I just seen this. Here are all of the apps that we remove as part of imaging. As for application defaults, we set Adobe Reader to have all of its defaults, and Internet Explorer to have all of its defaults. These defaults are randomly being reset for at least ΒΌ of our users running Windows 10. I say at least cause only 100-150 users have reported it happening. Our users are currently on 1511 with a few of us on 1607. Every time I create a reference image, it is updated with the latest CU and I last created the 1511 reference image in October of 2016. The app defaults being reset is getting better and happening less often, but it is still happening. Two of our 1607 users had their Adobe defaults reset to Edge last week.

Everyone can benefit from y'all giving details. Also, submit this to Microsoft. Mr. Niehaus has publicly stated that these types of issues are officially bugs and are items that Microsoft needs to fix. And they have been fixing them - each and every CU released for Win 10 has fixes for these. Keep in mind though, that you need to apply the CU to the image you are deploying as these fixes are for Windows setup and not necessarily Windows itself.

Our Win 10 clients are all on 1511 CBB currently but we will not upgrade them to 1607 due to apps and defaults being reset. All of our 1511 clients will be upgraded to the Creators Update when it is released to CBB. When we do deploy the Creators Update to clients, we will most likely make it required but give users a few weeks to a month for a deadline to install it themselves. One of the big things we are looking at is everything else that we have to upgrade prior to doing a feature upgrade to Windows. SCCM, AD, and Anti-virus software to name the more important ones.

Organizationally, we supply both LTSB/CBB images. For Surface(tm) Devices, CBB with the Windows Store Enabled is a must (we rip out the fluff apps though). For research boxes or to avoid an unnecessary Dual Boot situation, 1607 CBB also fits our bill. That being said, the overwhelming majority of Windows 10 boxes we have are on 1507 LTSB. MS does not have the upgrade process down for moving to newer CBB versions what with all the crap apps returning, default programs being reset, etc... Users and technicians don't like it and all it does is take the burden from MS developers to get the in place upgrade operation right and place it on my colleagues and others to script around it. Supposedly the Creator's Update will address this, I think. Anyway, the nice thing is, once I feel MS has everything down pat (really hoping Creator's Update CBB) I can uplift from the LTSB track to the CBB track and get into a more normal groove. This is just how we approached things. In terms of user feedback, we received much better feedback around LTSB when we did trial deployments. As a note, any reason to go 1511 to 1607 as opposed to waiting for Creator's Update to go CBB then going 1511 to that? In terms of deployment strategy and downtime on our CBB boxes, we make the update 'Available' via SCCM so folks can run it at their leisure. We'll see what happens if we have any hold outs in May, but likely we'll just make it required, set a deadline, and move on.

I currently have 1800 laptops on 1511 CBB, and will be upgrading these laptops to 1607 CBB over the next few weeks. This is challenging in it of itself because the update takes about an hour or more and is extremely disruptive to our end-users. I am fighting with the option to move to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB because all of the articles I have read about this particular version and how it's designed for mission critical systems i.e. ATM's, or factory type systems. The advantage I see is that I don't have to worry about upgrading these systems every 12 to 18 months and the disruption to the user is minimal. We have a total of 3,500 systems consisting or laptops and desktops. Our laptop hardware gets changed out every two years to a new model, and our desktops models are every 3 and may possibly change to 2 years. Here are some questions I have: Since we have a more aggressive hardware cycle is it worth going to LTSB or just stay with CBB? How are other admins handling the cycle change when they are dealing with many systems that will need be updated? Over 3,500 and up to 100K depending on the size of your company i.e. disrupting users, on-prem / off-prem? If we don't care for using the app store or having the Edge browser installed, are there any other drawbacks from using LTSB? Is Microsoft really going to stop creating security updates for 1511 when it goes end of life? Are you concerned about this if your company isn't ready to go to 1607 and you need stay on 1511 past its life cycle? Have you made the decision to go to LTSB and not look back? Any other info you can provide is appreciated.
